Over the last two decades, Shinedown have cemented their status as one of the most vital and forward-thinking powerhouses in modern rock. Their most ambitious and masterfully realized work to date, Planet Zerois a high-concept, ultra-vivid, viscerally charged saga. The fact is that we’re all here on this planet no matter what, so it’s time to actually move forward together with empathy, perseverance and strength. But we’re starting to see parts of society slip into an unknown. When you look outside of your phone, you’ll see there are so many people doing good things and trying to take care of each other. Says Brent, “If we shut each other down and allow ourselves to be divided by the information we consume and the way we talk to each other, we lose our humanity.

Featuring Shinedown’s explosive yet artfully crafted sound and urgent lyrics, single “Planet Zero” rings the alarm on a dystopian warning of the dangerous consequences to come when it all goes too far, and we begin to lose our respect for those with differing opinions and our compassion for one another.
Planet Zero serves up an incisive look at the issues at hand: cancel culture run rampant, the corrosive effects of social media on mental health and society, and the increasingly toxic division among those of differing ideologies. New York, NY – – Multi-platinum rock band Shinedown have released their lead single “Planet Zero,” the title track from their newly announced seventh studio album out April 22 on Atlantic Records. And it clearly shows here.Issues A Dystopian Warning with Lead Single “Planet Zero” This sets capture one of the greatest bands to come out of the 1980s just starting to gain global attention and at the point where they feel they still need to prove themselves to their audiences with each show.
The music companion to this set is flawless, with 11 live tracks recorded in Japan, Hong Kong, and England covering the band’s first three albums. Throughout the film the band performs “Walking On The Moon,” “Next To You” “Message In A Bottle” and “Born in the ‘50’s,” the last two of which are impressively covered. The between performance clips – with the members sightseeing, meeting fans, holding press conferences, and acting out skits (which are admittedly corny, but a little endearing) – are all pretty standard fare for ‘70s and ’80s music docs, but it’s the footage from the live sets that make the movie worth owning. Unlike later footage of the band nearing their end, all three members seem to actually enjoy each other’s company here and are seen joking throughout – especially in one of the most memorable segments when the band is in Japan and Sting and Stewart Copeland try and hype up a costumed Andy Summers who is about to Sumo wrestle a guy about twice his size. Around The World follows the trio on their first world tour in 1979-80. And in terms of consolation prizes, it’s pretty impressive. Considering the band is showing no intentions of revisiting their brief 2007/2008 reunion, this may be the best Police fans can hope for nowadays. Mercury Studios has just put out an impressively restored and expanded version of this oft-overlooked documentary and paired it with a live CD and LP, with never before released audio.
